The Art of Crime

The African American Wax Museum of Harlem was established in 1989 by the eccentric artist and fashion designer Raven Chanticleer. Located in the basement of a brownstone on 164th Street, the museum featured approximately two dozen handmade wax figures depicting "heroes and sheroes" of Black history, including Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Unlike traditional wax museums that prioritize strict realism, Chanticleer utilized an anachronistic and flamboyant aesthetic to foster cultural pride. Figures were often adorned in extravagant costumes of Chanticleer's own design—such as Harriet Tubman in aviator sunglasses—intended to make historical icons feel vibrant and relatable to the local community and visiting school groups.
